STABLE is partnering with well-established arts organizations to bring diverse programming into the STABLE studio complex, generating a dynamic art ecology. The artists working within STABLE have the opportunity to expand their professional practice while connecting to the unique cultural assets, creative communities and institutions unique to Washington, DC. The studios will be dedicated to visual artists of different ages, socioeconomic backgrounds, ethnicities, career trajectories, genders, sexuality and artistic practices. Studio space rented directly to DC based visual artists will be below market rate. The FlexSpace is the most visible part of the STABLE complex and will allow for partnerships opportunities, collaboration, events and exhibitions. STABLE will engage the broader community through open studios and educational programming. We will work with local and national organizations to bring in a diverse group of artists that will rotate annually, which will provide unique flow and energy to STABLE.
